Welding 14BFF

Good Morning from Cudahy Wisconsin. I recently saw a feature on making a 14BFF a locker, By welding the spider gears in 4 spots. Has any one tried this? How durable is it? Will it handle similar to my Jeep CJ7 with a Lockrite in the rear on the road? It sounds like a very good idea. I'm just looking for some feedback. Thanks for your time!!! chosen1

That's how mine is welded. It doesn't lock and unlock so it's a little more predictable than a locker. There is a little more tire wear and people look at you funny in the parking lots when you are turning and your tires chirp, but I like it /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

You get some understeer, but you get used to it. If you tow alot of weight with it often, I wouldn't recomend it though.
